Bruce is a liar then.

Pretty much everyone accepts that when Sherwood said similar things about players only to change his mind that he was lying so why can't Bruce be.

To flip it round though do you think Hogan fits in with how we're playing and do you think he's ever been played in this setup before?

We created chances for him first half. The system worked very well.

we created 1 chance for him and he created 1 from nothing for himself which is one of the best games he's had for us, what about the other 13 games he's played for us where he's had about 5 decent chances?

How we come into this season and what we do is what holds relevance. We had a system and a means of attacking which looked effective.

For about 35-40 minutes.

And then the opposition decided to play.

Then we wrestled back control and should have won it. We cannot afford to make a habit of dropping points.

We need to beat Cardiff. The biggest issue last season was the away form. 4 points are necessary from the next two.

The 'should have won it' bit is where we disagree.  Green missed a very good chance, I don't deny that, but that doesn't mean we should've won, it means we had a chance to retake the lead and we missed it.  Just as they had a very good chance to equalise before half time and they missed it.

Cardiff will be very tough, looks like another draw to me as Warnock will make it another war of attrition although we should have the 11 to cope with that this time.

More fancy us to beat Reading as we usually do well at the Madjeski and Norwich have a terrible record at Villa Park so that's another very winnable game.

I wanted 11 points from our first 5 games to spend a statement so we're struggling to do that if we don't win on Saturday. Not good dropping points in winnable home games.

Injured again! Is he another expensive injury prone dud? Seems to have a weak ankle.....not encouraging.

Works hard, has talent and seems to have the right attitude.

Maybe we don't play to his preferred style of play but fuck me the lads made of glass.

I like him. I think he'll end up our top scorer.

With 3 goals

I was worried that we wouldn't be able to replace Kozak.

Do we know what the extent of the injury is yet?

He certainly has the air of a luckless forward. Hitting the keeper constantly when one-on-one, stretching to and nearly getting his toe on crosses and always getting injured when he starts to get a run of starts.

Don't really think it's going to happen for him here but still time to prove me wrong.
